My week – and winter – are now complete.

I just watched the obligagtory TV news report on the weather. A reporter was standing in the snow, telling me how slick things were out there. I must have missed those sections on my drive into work.

Then came the magic words. “If you don’t have to go out today, maybe you should just stay home and take a snow day,” the woman cheerfully informed me.

I thought my head would explode.

We are expecting somewhere between 1 and 3 inches of snow. It is supposed to end by mid-morning, then get very cold for the rest of the weekend.

I won’t tell you there weren’t some slick spots on my drive in this morning. But for the most part, the main roads were just wet. It did not strike me as a paralyzing storm.

Maybe I should just stop watching TV or listening to the radio.

Global warming? Not this winter. Unless you count all the hot air being expelled by talking heads telling us how “treacherous” things are out there.

I feel better already.
